Adding Content
We have created your Team Home Page, it's now up to you to begin adding content. You can find all page builder elements in the center content panel. Add text, photos, galleries, tables, and more. You'll notice that when you click into each page element there is a brief description about the element and it's functionality; however if you have any questions, please come back to the knowledgebase or contact our support team ([email protected]) for additional help. Once you have added content, you can drag and drop the elements to rearrange the layout. If your site has the Fluid Layout Design option available, you can use the "Layout Containers" to create columns to vary the layout of your page elements.
Adding Articles and Events Articles News articles is a great way to enhance your webpage and highlight "time sensitive" information. When you add an article for your team, it is displayed in an "aggregator", always displaying the newest story first. Add news about a big win, upcoming team party, or important parent meeting. Simply click on Add Article to create recent team news. If you include a photo with your article, consider adding a News Slideshow Page Element to your page to enhance the presentation. The optimal aspect ratio for the News Slideshow Element is 600 x 370.
Events As a manager you can add two types of events: Non-Games and Games. Please note that the calendar and game schedule will NOT recognize duplicate events. If your organization has a scheduler that uses our Schedule Upload tool, please check to see if they have loaded any of your events. Non-Games Practices, Fundraisers, Team Parties, Meetings, etc. can be added directly into your team calendar and displayed within the "event aggregator" on your webpage. Simply click on "Add Event" and insert all important details, including date, time, and location.
Please note that all aggregators are set to default into a FIVE day view. You can always "edit" the actual aggregator to display information in a list view. This is a great way to display location and notes about each event within the calendar. Games All games should be added through your team Game Schedule; the games will be displayed within this game schedule page, along with your master team calendar. To add a game, simply click on Add Game, found within the schedule page.
When adding a game, you can enter in all game details including: Opponent, Home/Away, location, location URL, game time, status and referees. All socres and stats will be updated through this same section (see Managing Team Stats below).
Creating and Managing your Roster You can add players to your Roster using 2 methods: 1. Add player from member directory 2. Add brand new player from "scratch" You will only be able to use method 1 if you have required your parents to create accounts on the website. If you are creating a player from "scratch" you will need to enter their name, jersey number and position. Please note that you can also enter in a parent email address; which you will be able to utilize for future team messaging.
